Glass is completely fine for liquids. It's only relatively recently that plastic became ubiquitous. In my UK childhood (70s/80s) most drinks, milk etc were in glass bottles that were re-used and/or recycled. It's mostly the desire to save a few pennies per product that drove plastic. There are several brands in Europe now that sell water in aluminum cans rather than plastic bottles.
